| HD Down Load compared to Analog. Orpheus 10, I don't think our situations are identical. I don't listen to digital. For me it is not a case of this or that. It is only a case of that, ie. analog LPs. | |
| How much would an additional motor help Are the two motors positioned 180 degrees from each other and the same distance from the platter or are they in some other configuration? | |
| How much would an additional motor help Blueranger, did you have a chance to check if the platter speed changed with two motors? And how are the two motors positioned relative to the platter. Very interesting results and thank you for posting your findings. | |
| Pre-amps with seperate power supplies ..... Trying a different external umbilical cord is not like switching internal parts in electronics. One could simply try the different cord and keep it if it sounds better to him. Then when selling, he could just sell the stock cord and offer the othe... | |
| Wilson Alexia - what's the competition I would certainly listen to Rockport, Tannoy or the Magico Q3 for comparison. I did hear the Wilson Alexia at the recent NYC Audio Show and they had Transparent Ref XL cables which cost less than the speakers. The Wilson Sasha in the next room had... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. There is no doubt that High Rez digital can sound very good. And there is no denying the convenience and noise floor are superior to very good analog. I would say that if one is starting out and has a very small music library, than an argument can... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Thuchan, could you clarify your opinion? Are you saying that you believe the EMT 927 is the best turntable jusged by sound quality alone, as you state in your original post, or are you saying that when you factor in the price, it offers the best v... | |
| How important is +- 0.1 db from RIAA curve? Stringreen, That's an excellent point and one that supports what a good friend involved with the Vienna Opera told me: He said "there is no absolute sound" precisely because of your observation. And then there is position in the audience, humidity... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Thanks for your lengthy response, Omsed. You have a lot of experience with tables and arms. I'm still curious. Which of the modern tables do you prefer and why.Further up the thread in a post you inferred that technology has progressed and that th... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Thanks Spiritofmusic. I was not sure if your new cartridge needed that "energiser" or not. The replacement stylus cost is wonderful. I wish they were all so inexpensive. Congratulations again. I have heard these a couple of times at shows, but alw... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Spiritofmusic, Congratulations on your new cartridge and I'm glad it has opened a new window to your enjoyment of analog. You compared it to all of those other cartridges you used to own. Did you own those with your new turntable/arm combination o... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Omsed, Do you have a preference for drive type or arm type? I'm curious about which modern top tables you do like. Have you heard the Dobbins Beat, Wave Kinetics NVS, Rockport direct-drives, Walker, Basis, SME, Continuum, Kronos or TechDas? I'm su... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Doug, from the quote you used, I did not mean to imply that Mike and Fremer were beta testing these cartridges. Is there any mention of that anywhere? I'm not sure I'd assume that Ortofon was beta testing this batch of 8-10 with US customers. I wo... | |
| Audio Research Ref Phono 10 comes in at $30k I think it has a lot to do with finding a way to get their existing customer base to trade up and spend more money. Let's face it, the former reference level gear is already at a pretty high level. That owner may be pulled to another brand to get ... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Thanks for you post Mike. This is the first I have read that that initial run of 8-10 cartridges were "pre-release" samples. Fremer makes no mention of this in the review. The episode had been described to me by a friend overseas as a "recall" of ... |
